Battle of Auberive

The Battle of Auberive (24 June 1918) was a battle of World War I that was fought between the armies of the German Empire and those of France, the United Kingdom (including the Scotland Forever Battalion), and the United States. The Allies failed to take the German trenches after an assault through the maze of trenches dug throughout the chalky grounds of Champagne, and they were unable to hold their own trench from a German counterattack; they were ultimately forced back to their starting positions, and their attacks failed. The battle was a German victory, as the Allied offensive had been blunted.
